A Question of Values

By Rhoda Kaellis

Emily is a young woman living in New York after the Second World War. As a college student, she meets and becomes friends with the fascinating, strikingly beautiful and secretive Brenda, whose story, she gradually discovers, just doesn't add up. As Emily's suspicions grow about Brenda's real past, their friendship becomes strained. Many questions about Brenda remain unanswered, and Emily begins to discover that her own background is perhaps not what she had been led to believe. A Question of Values deals with the fairness of using conventional ethical standards when judging the behavior of people acting under extreme conditions. It raises the consideration that perhaps the moral conduct we normally expect from ourselves and others may not always be relevant in every situation. This moving story is hugely compelling and thought-provoking.
